AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Zoot Sims, known throughout his career as a hard-swinging tenor-saxophonist, started doubling successfully on soprano in 1973 and managed to become one of the best by simply playing in his own musical personality. This particular LP was his only full-length set on soprano but it is a rewarding one. ... A delightful set of swinging jazz, it's a surprise success".[5]
